When the civil union law went into effect on Sunday in Delaware, two women were the first to make their relationship legal. Drewry Fennell and Lisa Goodman - both lawyers - filed for their same-sex union, according to the AP.
The women, who have been together for almost 15 years, celebrated the occasion in a ceremony at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Wilmington.

More than 400 guests attended the event, including U.S. Sen. Chris Coons - who delivered a speech - and Lt. Gov. Matt Denns - who also read from the Bible. The women even received a standing ovation.
